Wednesday Already?

Well I finished a couple of the little ornies.....

And I did this......

A little closer look..

I am very pleased with this! My sister gave me a bag full of wool felt, that she got at a yard sale....and that's what I used! I think I am getting the hang of this embroidery machine...now I am gonna try some font and auto punch!
*Little tip for you..... a clear CD top makes a great square template (I hate to measure)

Because it is clear it is easy to center your design!


Well let me get back to work now.....I have to finish my gift for the secret Santa swap, make some holiday room sprays and list some things on etsy....meanwhile the week is flying by!!!
Check my sidebar for 2 great giveaways!

A Little Something.....

Yes, I have got a little something done.....I have been in a "Funk"...couldn't do anything right! But I think I got my MOJO back. I know this happens to the best of us!
Here are some designs I did with my machine, I am gonna make them into little ornies for the tree. The designs are from HomeBerries.




I am addicted! I love how quickly I can get these done!


*Little tip for you...I Love this vanilla! It is Molina, Mexican vanilla extract. I buy it at Walmart, it is in the Mexican food section, cost $1.50. I like to put in a spray bottle, it has great staining quality and smells good too!
Have a great weekend!!!!

Turning North Carolina Blue!!!




Yes, I voted and I hope for the first time in 30 years we go blue! I did my part to sweep the red out of my state....Goodbye Libby Dole ...go back to Kansas!

No matter where you stand ...this is a history making election.
And I am thankful that we are all able to choose for ourselves!
This weekend my children and I were working at our local Democratic Headquarters, we met a lady that had worked on Robert Kennedy's campaign...and he predicted that in forty years a African American would run for President and here we are! I know it it is not gonna be easy to dig out of this mess, but I believe there are better days ahead!
I am gonna cook up some supper and get in front of my TV! This is a very exciting time at my house! WE ARE FIRED UP!!!!!!!
